Alcohol is part of culture but in my religion we believe in the abstinence of it. It degrades human civilization (as someone stated before). It destroys your liver, your reputation, your values and morals. Would you rather be drunk, make-up smudged, dress ripped at a dinner party, totally hungover the next day unaware of what happened, or come in and out as beautiful as an angel, no reputations demolished and you actually remember the night?
I understand that it's culture for some. I've never had a drop of it but I think it's incredibly immature when I see people getting smashed and drunk. I don't mind if people have it in moderation but when they take it too far...its down-right disgusting.

That's what I personally think-I understand everyone has different opinions and that's the beauty of democracy

Soooo..... you can be either super trashed or sober? I had a glass of wine with dinner last night. I hardly think that makes me a bad person, or will destroy my liver, my reputation or my values and morals.

In fact, a glass of red wine on occasion has been known to promote a healthy heart. And I can almost guarantee that many of the people that you see drunk in a bar would classify themselves as 'religious'.

proselytizing or not does not change anything in fact but remain as it is

How do you feel when you find that everything is in the Koran is

linked to studies and researches scientists today .

For that to quote from the Koran why not ?

anyway , you said about Drinking alcohol in moderation ok? But what do you think of his/her behavior after Drinking is it good ?

Furthermore See what is caused by smoking

I'm sure you do not wish to deal with alcohol even if moderately right ?

Dude, none of it matters to me. Allah doesn't care if I drink, or smoke, or have gay sex, or run around naked slapping people with a dead fish. Allah doesn't care if I live my life good and moral, or if I'm evil and bad and so very, very naughty. Allah isn't interested in my beard, or my jewelry or that I don't know which way Mecca is. Allah doesn't care about any of this stuff because I was raised on bacon.

i think its weird that its considered "bad" here on earth but in heaven apparently they will have plenty of wine

Quran-(52:17-20): “They will recline (with ease) on thrones arranged in ranks. And We shall marry them to Huris (fair females) with wide lovely eyes.” “There they shall pass from hand to hand a (wine) cup, free from any Laghw….”

Quran-(78: 33-34):“And young full-breasted (mature) maidens of equal age, and a full cup of wine.”

Not Allah's.
